Structure refinement of Zn and Pr-doped Y-Ba-Cu-oxides

Superconducting compounds of composition Y0.9 Pr0.1Ba2 [Cu1-yZny]3O7-δ (0 ≤ y ≤ 0.10) have been synthesized. The structure of these materials has been studied using powder X-ray diffraction technique and refinement has been carried out by using Rietveld refinement procedure. It has been shown that a...

Description
Summary:Superconducting compounds of composition Y0.9 Pr0.1Ba2 [Cu1-yZny]3O7-δ (0 ≤ y ≤ 0.10) have been synthesized. The structure of these materials has been studied using powder X-ray diffraction technique and refinement has been carried out by using Rietveld refinement procedure. It has been shown that all these compounds crystallize in orthorhombic structure with slight change in c parameter. Increase of parameter O(2) and decrease of parameter O(3)suggest the changes in the Cu-O2 plane of these orthorhombic materials on Zn substitution.
